]]>The UAMS Library is exhibiting “The Henkel Physicians: a family’s life in letters” March 2 – April 3, 2015.The exhibit is on loan to the UAMS Library from the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health and curated by Jim Labosier.

About the exhibit:Several generations of fathers and sons studied medicine after the Henkel family settled in New Market, Virginia in 1790. Over the course of their careers, these physicians ministered to their community, tended to their countrymen on the battlefield, and testified in the nation’s courts of law. The letters of the Henkel family richly document the daily life of men in medicine in the 19th century and reveal the challenges, rewards and responsibilities of the profession. Covering more than a century of life in the Shenandoah Valley, this exhibition features a selection of writings that cover local events, professional jealousies, the national crisis of the Civil War and the dramatic testimony of the Henkel physicians in a murder trial. Each letter vividly illustrates the writer’s personality and their experiences as physicians.

]]>UAMS Library has collaborated with Debra Fiser, MD, UAMS faculty and director of the Center for Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) at Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) to create a web site that will help the UAMS community understand and practice EBM.

The site offers introductory information and tutorials, a guide through the major steps of the process of EBM, resources from the UAMS Library, templates and worksheets from Dr. Fiser’s EBM seminar series, and other tools for successful practice of EBM.

As an educator in EBM on the UAMS and ACH campuses, Dr. Fiser has led EBM boot camps conducted at ACH. She saw a need to provide EBM information and resources tailored to the UAMS community and began working with the Library on creation of the EBM web site this past December 2014. The new site will serve to reinforce concepts found in her lectures and provide a gateway to materials and tools for further advancement in EBM.

The practice of EBM is in alignment with campus goals to provide the best patient care because it focuses on individual patient needs and preferences in conjunction with practitioner’s expertise, and the best clinical evidence available to date. Placing the patient’s need and preferences first, EBM practitioners continually pose pointed questions of practical importance to their patients, objectively search the biomedical literature for the best evidence relative to the patient question, and take action based on that best evidence. The process comes full circle when the clinical application of the evidence is reviewed.

The web site is available to the public, but users will need UAMS credentials to access subscription materials from the UAMS Library. Those without credentials, have full access to all materials while on a networked computer in the Library.

For more information about Dr. Fiser’s upcoming EBM seminars, watch the new EBM web site for details.
